Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[3boys]

Ladybugs, I hope you hear girl! Gender is all consuming! Even now after everything I'm going through I keep looking at my ultrasound pictures trying to gage if it's a boy or girl.... I mean how crazy is that! It has made me a bit more excepting as I would do anything for this baby to be healthy but deep down I can't fully let go of my desire for a girl!

[I Love Ladybugs]

Thank-you girls.......I know that my issues with gender are magnified after time with my SIL and niece! You poor girls have to listen to all my Sat. night venting....at least until I know gender for sure. I feel in my heart of hearts that this baby is so meant for our family and I will be able to move forward either way. My mom is the only one who knows about the extra scan and is willing to wait for the extra weeks until I feel up to telling gender....

Bunnywabbit.....your little rainbow, regardless of gender, is going to light up your life!! I remember the snuggles of my first son in those early days and he still loves to be my sweet cuddlebug, my younger boy is my mommy's boy, he is literally my sonshine! I do hope that you get your sticky bfp soon!

3boys.....Even after my losses, I still want to dream in pink. I think that I understand where you are coming from and I want so bad for you to hear both healthy and pink still!!!!!

2lovely.....where are you and all my original March munchers???????????? I hope that you are keeping well....and getting geared up for your NT scan. Hope that you check in soon!!

Myrainbowgirl......we have had 3 rainbows recently...thinking of you and your bean!!

I have a private scan booked for Saturday (booked ages ago) which I was going to attempt to find out gender (its not a gender scan so not sure if she will tell me) but it will all depend on my results as to whether I go or not. If I have to have a CVS/amino I will wait for that instead of spending the extra cash. Plus I don't want to go to a scan where tech has to tell me the baby doesn't look right

This must be a horrible time for you. I really hope you get good answers soon.

Not at all, please feel free to vent! There's going to come a time when we all need to vent. We're all here for each other for that support. Hang in there x

Ladybugs - You are so thoughtful! You know just the right things to say. I haven't seen any "live" rainbows recently...only in pictures. So thank you for sharing and being such an encouragement! I hope and pray you hear pink in 2 weeks! You deserve it!!

3boys - Hope you're feeling somewhat encouraged, and I am praying for things to be 100% ok for your sweet baby!

Mathilde - Loved the Pinterest page! I totally need to start one!

Bunnywabbit - I really hope you caught the egg! I would say that if you BD on first positive, you are good! If you had a second line on the more recent OPK, but not as dark, then that's a negative...I get lighter but not positive OPK's all the time. Good luck!!

AFM - Feeling exhausted. And nauseous. Ugh. But so happy I am feeling pregnant! Grow baby grow! I really go back and forth on gender. I am most definitely NOT convinced that this is a boy, but part of me cannot wrap my head around the possibility of actually getting my heart's desire...so it HAS to be a boy, ya know? The other part of me is totally convinced this one HAS to be a girl. Such a crazy dichotomy!! I am torn, and totally scared to find out! I know God won't give me more than I can handle, but still. It's a tough wait!

Myrainbowgirl.....Thanks!!!! And I thought of one other thing....I live one street over from Rainbow Ave!!! So I can always see a "rainbow" from my house!

I am so wishing away part of July for us girls..but that is wrong, we NEED to enjoy each moment!!!!!

I know what you mean! We were going through possible names with a friend who then turned round and said "dont bother with girls names you are bound to have another boy" (she has 2 herself and went through GD with number 2 so is possibly trying to prepare me) and I just thought NO! you are wrong I AM having a girl. Which is so weird as I saw the upward angle at 12 weeks and have always thought it was a boy but I guess having my dream snatched away so casually was not something I was ready to deal with. Hopefully I will get a good look at 20 weeks and will know for sure either way.

Grrr GD is a yucky thing.
